Hi guys,
As we embark on the eerie journey through Modern Warfare 3 Zombies' Operation Deadbolt, where the Aether Storm mirrors the ominous toxic gas of Warzone's past. As time ticks away, a burgeoning purple vortex materializes, steadily expanding the longer you linger beyond the initial playthrough time.
This will eventually kill you if you do not make it to an EXFIL location on the map before the AETHER ZONE has engulfed the entire map and wiped out every living, or unliving thing, within it.
Venturing into the heart of this AETHER ZONE unveils a formidable foe known as the Storm Caller. This mini-boss poses a considerable challenge, demanding a hail of bullets to subdue. Yet, the spoils of victory are tempting—a coveted Golden Skull, accompanied by treasures like a 3-plate vest and a spacious large rucksack are some of the spoils of war on offer here. The value of these items becomes apparent when considering their hefty price tag at a typical buy station, where each piece could set you back around 10,000 points.
The loot drop from the Storm Caller remains delightfully unpredictable, ensuring that each playthrough introduces a fresh element of surprise. While the Golden Skull is a guaranteed prize, its resale at a buy station fetches a handsome 5,000 cash to wield at your discretion.
For those facing the Aether Storm in a LOW THREAT zone, a strategic advantage emerges. The undead minions summoned by the Storm Caller prove more susceptible to defeat, facilitating a somewhat easier takedown of this menacing adversary.
Having a Pack-a-Punched weapon also makes killing him much easier and obviously, the higher the level it is Pack-a-Punched to, it will make quicker mince meat out of him.
You can also kill the STORMCALLER in a single attack if you have the BLOOD BURNER MOTORCYCLE. All you need to do is get the PULSE ATTACK charged up for the bike and then drive it into the AETHER STORM, located the STORMCALLER and drive it up to within a few metres of him and activate.....the STORMCALLER after that will not be calling anything after that attack, he is done for.

Approach the Storm Caller cautiously, for its proximity not only drains your health but also replenishes its own, intensifying the struggle to vanquish this formidable foe. Once conquered, the coveted Golden Skull falls to the ground, triggering a race among teammates to claim its lucrative rewards.
Only one person can pick this skull up and there is not one for every single player in your team. Be greedy and run to it as fast as you can to pick it up or offer it to team mates who are low on cash and need some help.
However, keep in mind that this prized possession cannot be carried over to subsequent playthroughs; it's a use-it-or-lose-it scenario, adding an extra layer of urgency and strategy to your Operation Deadbolt escapade.
Aether Zone Locations
Here is a map with the locations of all known AETHER ZONE locations from WZHUB.GG tactical map. The interactive map made on the website https://wzhub.gg/ which allows you to bring up the overall tactical map of Urzikstan, then on the left hand side of the screen, filter down through showing only individual features on the map which is absolutely awesome:
I'm not associated with this website in any way and I'm simply using their screenshot as a reference. The map is crafted by the individuals behind this site, not by me. It appears to be consistently updated whenever a new feature spawn location is discovered, which is immensely helpful given the impressive level of detail.
Thanks for reading as always guys.
Henry
